welcome to the binge.watch 2016 awards

22nd September 2016, Reeperbahn Festival, Hamburg, Germany

the binge.watch awards will become the hard currency for outstanding creative work in virtual reality, mixed reality and 360 video. we firmly believe this. this is a work in progress, so feel free to share your hearts and minds with us! and most of all, submit your work, we cannot wait to see all of it!

you know your work is excellent, outstanding, creative, full of craftsmanship, but how do you compare? how do others compare to you and how can you distinguish yourself from the (friendly) competition?

so submit your work today, join the competition and we will keep our fingers crossed that you will take home one of the few, shiny and awesome binge.watch awards 2016.

a shortlist jury will select the best works from each category for final judging and our festival jury, consisting of a few, select and high ranking creatives and professionals from the industry, will appoint the winners of the binge.watch awards during the festival.

we have a few names on our list, but we cannot tell you any just yet. so please stay tuned!

yes, there is. the main reason for this is that a lot of people and work are involved to make the binge.watch awards happen and this means a lot of costs, too. submissions have to be checked, downloaded, viewed stored. jury members have to be flown in, fed and need a place to sleep. need we go on?

but no need to worry, we will give you a nice rebate for two binge.watch 2016 tickets, if you submit your work. you will find more information on submission fees on the submissions form further below.
